I-SpaceX yazisa i-IPO yayo kwangolo suku lunye i-U.S. wabuyela enyangeni okokuqala 54 iminyaka. Ixesha lifanelekile: inokuba sisihlandlo sokugqibela iNASA izama ukwenza imisebenzi enzulu ngaphandle kwenkxaso enkulu evela kwiinkampani zabucala..
Inkqubo yangoku ye-NASA yenyanga ibuyela emva kwiGeorge W. Ulawulo lukaBush, eyaqala ukuphuhlisa i-rocket enkulu kunye ne-Orion spacecraft. Ngu 2010, Iprojekthi igqithile kuhlahlo lwabiwo-mali kwaye yancitshiswa umva, ngelixa inyathelo elitsha lokuxhasa iinkampani zabucala ezakha iirokethi ze-orbital zaziswa. Eso sigqibo sakhokelela kwikhontrakthi yogcino lwenkampani ye-SpaceX kwaye yavusa isantya sotyalo-mali lwemali enkulu kwitekhnoloji yasemajukujukwini., ekugqibeleni kubangele i-rocket ye-SLS yanamhlanje.
I-SLS yeyona rocket isebenzayo inamandla ehlabathini, sele ugqibe inqwelomoya enye kuphela yovavanyo ejikeleze inyanga. Nangona kunjalo, Imisebenzi yokufika kwenyanga ezayo iya kuxhomekeka kwi-SpaceX okanye kwiBlue Origin - iinkampani zimbini zikhuphisana ukuba zibe ngowokuqala ukubeka iibhutsi kumphezulu wenyanga..
Xa iNASA yagqiba ekubeni ibuyele enyangeni 2019, yaziva inyanzelekile ukuba ibambelele kwi-SLS kunye ne-Orion kodwa yaguqukela kwisizukulwana esitsha seenkampani zabucala zabucala ukwakha umhlali wenyanga.. Kwi 2021, I-SpaceX's Starship iphumelele isivumelwano somhlaba, nangona izakudinga ngaphezulu kweshumi elinesibini lokuphehlelelwa ukuba ifuthe ngokupheleleyo kuhambo. Blue Origin yongezwa kwinkqubo kwi 2023. Ngaphantsi kwesicwangciso samva nje, I-NASA iya kuvavanya ukukwazi kwe-Orion capsule ukuhlangana nomntu omnye okanye bobabini kwi-orbit 2027, uvula indlela yokungena ngaphakathi 2028.
Umlawuli omtsha weNASA, usobhiliyoni uJared Isaacman, iye yalungisa kakhulu inkqubo: Ukurhoxisa isikhululo sesithuba senyanga yeGateway kunye nokuphuculwa kwexabiso eliphezulu kwi-SLS, kunye nokungena kwiinkampani zabucala zabucala.
Nangona kunjalo, I-China iqhubela phambili ngokuthe ngcembe injongo yayo yokufika kwenyanga 2030, oku kuthetha ukuba nakuphi na ukulibaziseka okanye ukungahambi kakuhle kuya kujongwa ngelensi ye-geopolitical. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku usilele ukubetha iinkampani zaseTshayina kwiimoto zombane okanye iirobhothi, I-Silicon Valley ngoku ibona inyanga njengethuba elibalulekileyo lokungqina ukuba isengabanini bomda wetekhnoloji.
